Prince William met Jamila Akhtar during his visit to the Sweet Surprise café in Ilminster, fulfilling her 80-year wait to encounter a member of the Royal Family. Jamila traveled for three hours to attend the engagement at the café, which provides adults with learning disabilities opportunities to develop skills and gain community experience.

The Prince later shared photographs from his visit on Instagram, highlighting the importance of such local spaces during difficult times. During his time in Somerset, William also met with the Area Resilience Group to discuss how volunteer networks support residents during emergencies and severe flooding.

Later in Monmouthshire, William and Kate's shared enthusiasm for the BBC reality show The Traitors came up in a conversation with actor Ross Kemp. Kemp expressed delight that the Prince and Princess of Wales watch the hit program, noting its massive popularity across the country.

Reflecting on his own role in the series, Kemp joked about how the show has shifted public reactions toward him, recalling that even a local garage attendant asked him for a selfie. The former EastEnders star, who is participating in the latest season, smiled as he confirmed, "I am a faithful."
